hey people,

I am looking for a specific part. I was wandering what are the technique you
use to find a specific part. Is there a software out there you would just
punch in NPN, Vcb=500v max etc... and I would see all the possible part
number and code availabe. If not, how do you go about it ?

thanks

ken

www.digikey.com has the best parametric parts search function. You'll
love it.

Hi, Ken. Most semiconductor manufacturer websites have parametric
search capability. For your transistor, I'd just go to the ST
Microelectronics website:

http://www.st.com

click bipolar transistors, then click on the parametric table selection
for the type of transistor you need.

For high voltage transistors sorted by V(ceo), they show a couple of
dozen parts that will do the job. You can sort by voltage, Ic, or
whatever parameter you want.

Most other semiconductor manufacturers have the same capabilities --
it's much better than flipping through catalogs. Take a minute to
learn how to use the parametric filters to make your job a bit easier.

Good luck
Chris
